1 | Let's face it, this is not Japanese food. The food is ok but it is really more or less Chinese food. The soups taste Chinese and lack the umami quality because they are not hon-dashi based. The rice used for the sushi is totally incorrect long grain rice, and not properly vinegared. | en | 52 | let face japanese food food ok really less chinese food soups taste chinese lack umami quality based rice used sushi totally incorrect long grain rice properly vinegared | 27 |

4 | Hands down, best sushi in the city. I think this is both if you are a roll person or if you are a sashimi person - which is not the case everywhere.
